The function and uses XFP Transceiver
A XFP Transceiver is a combination of transmitter and receiver for the transfer of optical signals. The XFP Transceiver uses an electronic to optical converter to translate the signals within the XFP Transceiver.
In case if you use such cables then to plug it into your devices such as computer you have to use the optical transceiver. For laptops and notebooks you can connect the transceiver directly to a side while for computer you can connect it to the rear end of its CPU. The optical transceivers are similar to electrical transceivers and they connect different devices to transmit and receive your information.
XFP Transceivers can be used in various hardware systems, e.g. in switches, servers, HBA's, etc. XFP Transceivers usually have an LC duplex connector. Furthermore, XFP Transceivers are hot pluggable and thus can be used or removed during operation.
BlueOptics XFP Transceivers also offer Digital Diagnostic Monitoring, which allows you to monitor
various values of the XFP Transceiver, such as the temperature, while being in live mode.
